IMN is delighted to host the 2nd Annual Derivatives Trading in the Era of Dodd-Frank's Title VII conference, taking place September 16th, 2013 in New York, NY. The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is the most significant piece of financial regulation since the Great Depression, passed as a response to the Global Financial Crisis and subsequent recession. The Dodd-Frank Act will have profound impacts on the entire financial industry, but Title VII – the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act – will have particular significance for OTC derivatives trading and market participants.

The Derivatives Trading in the Era of Dodd-Frank's Title VII conference will examine how market participants are effectively implementing technology and generating returns with OTC and exchange-traded derivatives within the parameters of new regulation and transparency requirements. The conference will bring together heads of trading desks, COO’s, CTO’s, general counsel and portfolio managers from top banks, pension funds, insurance companies and hedge funds. The conference will also feature exchanges, derivatives trading platforms, financial technology providers, swap execution facilities, clearing houses, broker-dealers, law firms, advisory firms and others concerned with the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on trading. As the Dodd-Frank Act implementation process continues, information exchange and best practice discussion is paramount when equipping your organization with the tools and strategies needed to successfully navigate through the myriad requirements of Title VII in particular. Hear from industry experts on all sides of the issue, from legal experts advising on effective compliance and transparency requirements, to technology providers assessing appropriate enterprise software solutions, to institutional investors exploring cost ramifications and best practice proposals, heads of trading outlining changes made within their own organizations, regulatory organizations demystifying the dense Dodd-Frank Act itself, and many more. The conference will also feature extensive networking opportunities with professionals providing cutting-edge solutions and services to assist your organization. Don’t miss this timely and essential forum in the midst of sweeping regulatory changes that will continue to affect your business in the coming years.
